How to prevent printing?

I need to be able to prevent users from sending a report to the printer
(both from the report Component and the TppDesigner comoonent as well). I
set the device to screen but I need to either

a) Hide the print button when the report prints to the screen
or
b) detect when the click the button and show a message that says they can't
print and prevent the print dialog from being shown.

Anyone know how?

    Would the following help?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    To disable a button in the Report Preview form, you need to create a
    descendant class to ppPreview and change the PrintButton property's
    settings. Follow the link below for an example of how to do this.

    It was posted by Nico some time ago and worked fine for me
    with RBldr v7

    That works just fine. However is there a way to do it on a per report basis?
